As the Congress continues to rewrite and introduce new versions of so called health care reform legislation in both houses of Congress the citizens of the United States are treated to longer and longer bills that are more and more confusing. The House has passed its version and now the Senate has voted to bring its version to the floor for debate. That tells us what we need to know about the so-called moderate Democrats in the Senate. If the people in Louisiana and other states don’t rise up against Mary Landrieu and the other Senators who are selling out their constituents then this will truly be just the beginning. They will continue to violate their oaths of office and vote for every bill Obama and Harry Reid tell them to vote for, regardless of the Constitutional implications.

As for the health care bills themselves, the bottom line remains the same. These bills are not really about health care at all. They are an all out assault on the Constitution of the United States and are designed to transfer power to the Executive Branch of government that will impact and in some cases virtually destroy the Constitutional rights of Americans to make their own choices when it comes to health care and even to protect their own privacy.

In previous articles I have dealt with some of these concerns and now I will summarize them for you so you can decide for yourselves if this is really the direction you want our country to take. This is what both the House and Senate versions of the bill will do:

First and foremost, both bills will allow federal bureaucrats to decide what health care you can receive. This will be true whether you keep your private health care insurance or go with the “public optionsâ€
